Reconstruction of Pink and White Esthetic Balance Using Architectural Gingival Recontouring: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
The composition of smile architecture includes pink gingiva and white tooth structure that complement each other in balance and harmony. “Black triangles” however may compromise the concord of a patient’s smile. Black triangles are triangular spaces between the teeth caused due receded gingiva and/ or the absence of interdental papilla. Interdental papilla plays a significant role in establishing the harmony of smile. Its presence depends mainly on the distance between the crest of interdental alveolar bone and the base of the contact area. To increase the emergence profile and to develop natural contours at the gingival-tooth interface the conventional technique using Mylar strip was modified. Mylar strip was pulled out of the sulcus by approximately 1 mm from the marginal gingiva and was stabilized using a small cotton pellet. This modified technique used to provide the emergence profile and to develop natural contours gives satisfactory results in a clinical situation.
